    Yes, thank you. 560Ti, noticed that when the game switches map it spends ages loading and when I finally do get in to the game the spawn point is clear and all the vehicles have gone. I could understand that if I was running some slow ass system but the games running off a Raid 0 set of Samsung F3s, considered moving the game to my SSD but I can't see it loading THAT much faster.

    This is the first Battlefield game, not including Bad Company 1+2, that has single player. The was never about single player in the first place, it's about massive online battles.

    cannot connect to EA backend. this has started for me today. cannot connect to servers.
    "could not connect to server since it could not be found" thats another one im getting today.
    "could not join server, since both the server and its queu is full" this is also new.
    3 different errors, i had not had a problem connecting to servers till today.

    hope its not on my end. as i see this message at top of battle log.
    "NOTICE Be advised: We are seeing connectivity issues to the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 back-end systems. DICE and EA are working on resolving the problem"

    but then i see so many servers with many people in them.

    To me the game feels like an alpha more then a realsed game.

    Weapons:

    Full spray > burst

    Dmg / bullet is too low, spread/recoil too low

    Rate of fire on all weapons are too high

    Mortars: Boring, bugged, glitchy, quirky not fun to use at all and on top of that OPed and not used to destroy vehicles camping, or disolve heavy fortified positions but to kill other mortar users and single alone/stationary solo infantry
    - Most people don't even know there is a smoke grenade and only spamm HE, the HUD/INFO on the mortar is so unfinished it is not even funny.

    Other:

    Color palett is dull, but made so to make camo useful yet they have IRNV that completly ruins any form of cover/camo/blending in

    Nerf flashlights in the ground
    Nerf laser sights to not blind as much, you already get a smaller reticle for CQC spray purpose

    Classes:

    Engineer rocket spam has to be eliminated, lower splash / remove it make it only usefull at breaking cover with minimal dmg to infantry behind it and to destroy vehicles/stationary mounted weapons.

    Raise rocket dmg, lower reload speed and lower ground vehicle disabled treshold.


    I really don't like this game as it is atm, I can oversee bugs but pure game imbalance and odd design desicions are destroying the fun, skill and tactics in this game and there is ALOT of potential.

    More destruction would be good but I suspect it would kill performance for alot of people and / or create imbalance with vehicles destorying all and any cover before advancing.

    Happend during beta if you had the game on ultra textures, seems fixed in gold version though - I havn't had the issue a single time and always 1st on the server, more or less.

    Could try lower the textures to high and restart game and report.

    Did you notice the following text on the battlelog site?

    "NOTICE Be advised: We are seeing connectivity issues to the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 back-end systems. DICE and EA are working on resolving the problem."

    seems to me you need to learn to adapt to how games are. not all are going to be the same or what ud expect. u have to adapt to them games.

    A few things i thought i would point out now that the dust has settled,From day one till now this game has excited me at first to then utterly make me want to ditch it. Not even just rage, or being upset, but honestly just never wanting to play it again. Every time I give it a try and have fun at first, it always ends up in me wanting to throw the game somewhere I'll never find it. I feel it's an insult to BC2 which got me some nice fun from the first till the last second when I got bored with it.

    Flying Jets can be hard cuz the nerds who have all unlocks for jets blow you out of the sky with maintenance upgrade and fireproof thingy literally nothing you can do about it. Don't even get me started on the choppers, which go down when a bird flies into them.

    I'll give it more shots, for as long as I can take it, but the utter stupidity in which some things were designed baffles me too much (mortars, jets, choppers, maps, origin, 7 ppl minimum for start, spawning in for jet being the fastest computer and he keeps having it all game, noobtubes, snipers, the vehicle on fire thingy so at 50% HP your vehicle is useless, the knifing...). I'm allergic to stupidity, especially when it comes to games i lose interest very fast.

    Sure the combat in a select few maps is fun, but when the vehicles are frustrating and the large maps boring, I could just play Call of Duty, as that is focused on close combat and that is what this game feels like tbh.

    Send your feedback to DICE, i'm sure they're still collecting information about unbalances ppl notice. BC2 had 1 fix after another, so i guess over time BF3 will change somewhat too.

    Remember that 8/12 maps in BF2 had jets.
    Now we have 4/9 maps that have jets. Probably 6/13 when the B2K launches.

    This sucks. DICE has clearly taking a step away from massive vehicle battles, and moved towards pleasing COD players.
    Follow the money i guess.

    Ive reported all this to EA/DICE.
    Caspian, Kharg and Noshahr Canals are the best large Conquest maps the rest are rubbish for true conquest on a large scale.

    its been working well for activision all this time, why shouldnt EA jump on the bandwagon. j/k lol

    also, iirc BF2 and BC2 were a hot mess when they were first released. which btw took quite a few patches fix her up. so i still have hope this will get sorted out. :nerd:

    i more or less agree here vet. i was excited at first but it wore off fast. looks to me its been made for the console not the pc. the single player gives it away as none of my other BF (not BC) has single player. i spent 6 years on bf2 but theres no way i'll put that time into this. i would had rather of had bf2 released again but with the frostbite2 engine. no queing for severs is utter fail aswell. im shocked that i rate bc2 above this at the mo.
